BLOGS OF THE DAY: Oscars had too much yelling about causes, says Fey

Tina Fey felt the Academy Awards focused too much on the issues this year

Tina Fey felt the Academy Awards focused too much on the issues this year.

“Being at the Oscars… halfway through I was like this is some real Hollywood bull****,” she dished to Howard Stern.

“Everyone’s telling me like what to do and it was like, people are yelling at me about rape and corporate greed, but really it’s climate change, and I was like ‘Guys, pick a lane. Hey everyone, we’re going to fix everything tonight. And also, you’re all rich. Why are you yelling at me about corporate greed? You’re all so rich.’”

Oscars turned out to be a platform not just for racial representation in the movies, led by host Chris Rock’s incisive insight and parody, but a wide array of causes, from global warming to sexual abuse in church and on campus.

At the end of the night, Leonardo Dicaprio opted to turn his first-ever Academy Awards acceptance speech into a brief lecture about climate change.

Still, Fey thought DiCaprio’s acceptance speech was “articulate.”

Fey knows a thing or two about awards shows: She's hosted the Golden Globes with Amy Poehler three times.

The actress wore a black T-shirt with the words “Rogue” written on it in white, black cropped leggings, a pink and blue plaid shirt tied around her waist and pink and black sneakers.

Green was seen holding the door for Fox, whose similarly casual outfit contained several shades of grey.

The two share two sons, Noah, 3, and Bodhi, 2, who were not present.

Fox filed for divorce from Green last August after five years of marriage. The two appear to have remained friendly since their split.

George Clooney, a longtime political activist as well as Hollywood A-lister, has labelled the policies of Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump as “insane”, and believes that ultimately he won’t be able to make the White House.

Though Trump’s electoral momentum shows no signs of slowing, Clooney is still convinced that the hype will dissipate eventually.

“This is an election cycle and we tend to go through some craziness,” he told The Telegraph in a new interview regarding his new movie, the Coen brothers- directed political comedy Hail, Caesar! Sneak peek
